“Ethan, I…”

I was moving, unable to stop, even if my strokes were somewhat truncated.

“I know.” Shaking my head, I tried to hold back the tears, because I wanted to mark every shift in her expression. “I know, omega. You’re mine.”

“And I’m yours.”

Her head fell to one side, revealing the creamy expanse of bare skin. For a second I just stared, unable to believe this was happening. How the hell had we gone from a workplace hookup to this? The man wanted to interrogate that further, but my wolf had grown into a more persistent presence in my life and he shouldered forward right now. Lunging for her neck, clamping our fangs down on unmarked flesh, I felt the connection snap into place.

Ethan… she said, right as the world fell away and was replaced by this.

My wolf stared at hers, glowing white in the swirling darkness. Her paws danced across the earth, then with a bark, she whirled around, as if inviting me to chase after her. My wolf was helpless to do anything else. As our paws thundered across the ground in my mind, our human bodies moved, rocking back and forth, over and over, getting faster and faster with each passing moment. A bright light formed on the horizon and we raced towards it.

Fuck, Nadia, I gasped, as the world turned to gold.

My arms wrapped around her the moment our orgasm hit, as if sheltering her from the blast, but there was only pleasure, no pain. I felt every shake of her body, every twitch as I thrust through each one. Prolong her pleasure, make it stretch out forever, that’s what I wanted, but of course, we had to run face first into the fact our bodies had limitations. My balls were wrung dry and so I started to soften and pull free of my mate.

But Nadia needed more.

It was like a hunger burning deep inside her, one that just couldn’t seem to be satisfied. That was enough to have me flopping down beside her, still holding my mate close.

“You’re not done,” I said.

“How is that possible?” Even as she said the words, her thighs started to rub together. “I feel like my body is on fire.”

“And it won’t go out.” Grey’s voice was a lazy purr. “Not until you wear each one of our marks.”

Letting her go so she could roll up into a seated position and confront my packmate only hurt a little. We would always share Nadia, but right now, he was the thing that was missing.

You OK with this? I asked her, careful not to let what I was feeling show to Grey. His wolf is riding him really hard right now.

And that wolf is my mate, she replied with a backwards look, right before turning back to Grey. Each one of you is perfect for me, even him.

“Shit…”

I looked at Tex and he looked at me in a way that was all too familiar. Usually it was just before a bar fight or when facing down the other team on a footy field, but we’d get through this too. It never occurred to me that we could become a pack.

I used to think I was broken. Nadia looked back at me, concern replacing heat in her gaze, so I smiled. In some ways, I think we all thought that. Now I know that we were all just pieces looking for where we fit.

She nodded slowly.

Together.

“Together,” I said aloud. “Now go claim your man.”

Chapter 52

Grey

There’s no way to do this without my cooperation. Usually the wolf was a dark voice in the back of my mind, but not now. It was like another version of myself stood before me, staring me down. A Grey that wasn’t beaten down, first by his own parents, then by his own protective instincts. She’s my mate as well as yours.

So stop putting all your energy into fighting me and start working with me, I replied.

I will if you will.

With a long, shuddering breath, something I’d been holding tight to for years was suddenly released and for just a moment, I marvelled at the fact that the world didn’t stop spinning on its axis. Tex and Ethan were either side of Nadia, giving her long, slow, sensual kisses, which drew both of us forward. That and the fact her breasts were thrust up as if begging for our mouth’s attention, as she twisted from one to the other. Claiming her lips as mine, tasting her pulse as my tongue flicked across the base of her neck, then moving downward to suck that hard bead of a nipple into my mouth. It was like I couldn’t decide what I wanted to most.

All of it, the wolf assured me.
